guatemala's president has been touring the worst affected areas. he spoke of the scale of the disaster. >> i would like to mention that this is the biggest earthquake we have had since the one that occurred in 1976. this gives you an idea of what we're facing. >> the death toll was far less and 23,000 killed 36 years ago, the president has declared a state of emergency. dozens of people are being housed in shelters and over 70,000 are without electricity. >> ok, we turn our attention now back to china, which is, of course, gearing up for a major leadership change. the president will give up his position as head of the communist party. >> his designated successor is faced with a slew of challenges, including closing the gap between rich and poor. while millions of people have benefited from china's booming economy, others have been left behind. >> china's much vaunted harmonious society is showing signs of cracking. we have this report from beijing. >> he came to beijing 14 years ago as a migrant worker. he collects ravished. his earnings support hi

i am engaged to a woman who is from guatemala. she is very smart and very conservative in her personal and social values. just the way the republicans spoke about immigration and things like that, they came across as really racist. so that turned her away and it turned me away. the entire abortion and thing, i think we all know that abortion is not something we want. i don't feel it helps our society in any way. but the way todd akin and richard murdock spoke about it shows their insensitivity to women's issues. a lot of women are tired of white men telling them what they can and cannot do when men cannot have babies. the republican party has a lot of work to do to repair their image. guest: i agree completely. talking about the immigration issue, if you look at the republican primary, a couple incidents happened. herman cain is an african- american republican, but he talked about building a moat to keep immigrants out. candidates like newt gingrich and rick perry bravely stood up for a more compassionate position for immigrants.
